I think you should read the EPlus document in the Advanced Output example file. (ExerciseOutput1 Instructions.pdf)
The following may also help separate the source of the problems.
1) using the .rvi file with the same fine name as the IDFfn, customise the .csv at run time..
2) Use the .rvi as a custom post processing using an existing .eso. The input eso file name and output csv file name must be in the .rvi file. The .rvi is passed on the command line.
3) Please note that .rvi and .rmi uses different data files. The names in the BIOPCM-HC.rvi are Report:meter. variables. RVaudit will confirm this. The result may appear in the default version of .csv output.
4) If the variable is not in the IDF, the .rvi will not produce an output. Timestep, hourly, etc. generates additional data in the ESO file. If the IDF is for hourly only, you will not get the timestep data off line.
5) When you wanted to display a single zone variable data, check with the .eso file for the name to be used, if the column does not appear in the .csv..
[ ] square brackets have special meaning in the MACRO file in the .imf format.
This may be the reason why the HVACtemplate commented out all the material,construction, and building section and then copy them back again.. User may have used the sq. brackets for names. Any square brackets in the .imf which are not for the MACRO application will cause the MACRO expansion to fail.
With Windows VISTA OS, a batch file may not run properly without the Administrator's permission.
I do not know the JEplus requirement. If the .rvi does not run in versin 7.1, show me the .eso and the .rvi file.
If you do not have any rvaudit or rverror, you may not have run the .rvi.

I seem to be having the same problem with the newest version of JE+ or Eplus 7.1. I tried to run an older JE+ parametric run that ran successfully in the past. But when I run it now, using Eplus version 7.1 and JE+ version 1.3. I do not get any results. I am curious to know if Jeremiah has come across this problem as well?
If anyone else has come across this same issue. I would be glad to know how to tackle it.

So many thanks for all helpful comments. I used the BIOPCM-HC.rvi for jEPlus. The project was validated successfully but after the simulation, the .cvs output file did not contain any information. I also tried the changes Dr. Li had suggested (modifier the .rvi file) but again no results were obtained. Any chance that I am using a wrong .rvi file, which is not compatible with the job I'd like the jE+ to carry out?
